🤓 I’m a food scientist and this is the secret to perfect chewy chocolate chip cookies: Say ✨RECIPE✨ below and I’ll be happy to DM it to you! 🧈 Cream the butter and sugar for a FULL 5 minutes. This traps enough air to insulate the fat, protecting it from spreading before the starch sets. This keeps cookies thick and chewy instead of thin and crispy (even without chilling!) *Just make sure your butter is room temp: soft enough to dent with a finger, not melty or greasy.* 🍪 Shape into tall balls
